The Sapphire Coast, where Eden is situated, is not only resplendent in beaches but also in interesting rocks. Today we’re looking at the coastline in the Ben Boyd National Park, that surrounds Eden.

The colours, formations and types are so varied because the coastline here is older than the coast further north along the Sydney Basin. Hence we found sandstone so rich in iron oxide that they are a reddish-purple with veins of white quartz.

The pebbles on the foreshore are most colourful, too.
